rmmod is hanging up in a call to cancel_work_sync(), which means the
real problem is in the workqueue.  It's quite understandable that you
wouldn't want to go any further into debugging this, but in case you
don't mind, the workqueue task is ksuspend_usbd.

On the other hand, I don't understand how problems with the RTC 
configuration could cause this sort of result.
